Pretty. There is an element of delight in all aspects of the brand and I think that beauty should be pretty. It should give us joy and please all of our senses. We always try to make sure that the design, packaging, texture and colors of our product always delight.

My children’s poems. I framed them and have them throughout my kitchen.

Little Women because it’s an American classic.
